As the top women’s magazine in the Philippines celebrates two decades of fun, fearless female empowerment, Cosmopolitan Philippines treats its loyal readers to a special anniversary issue with none other than the phenomenal star Maine Mendoza on the cover.
“As we celebrate Cosmopolitan Philippines’ 20th birthday this month, we also celebrate your twenties as your defining decade,” says Cosmo’s Editor-in-Chief, Marla Miniano. “That’s what this issue all about—a reminder that Cosmo Girls never stop trying and learning and growing.”
The 20th anniversary issue features 20 big stories, diving into everything from fashion resolutions and crazy, colorful beauty looks, to taking on a 20-day workout challenge and exploring the most Instagrammable hotels and resorts in the country, to being the best bae ever and unlocking the secrets all girl bosses know by heart. Cosmo also goes back to 1997—the birth year of Cosmopolitan Philippines—through its grunge-style fashion editorial modeled by a real-life barkada, then returns to the present by zooming in on the Pinay in Love in 2017.
Also in this issue is this year’s batch of Fun Fearless Awardees—carefully selected Passionate Young Twenty Somethings making their mark in their respective fields. There is no shortage of inspiration as these 20 women defines what success means to them, talk about the lessons they’ve learned so far, and reassure Cosmo Girls that believing in yourself is already half the battle.
To make Cosmo’s 20th anniversary even bigger, they are extending its celebration to the readers with Cosmo Hour! Cosmo will be bar hopping their anniversary month. For an hour, the first 100 Cosmo Girls will get free cocktails and San Miguel Light beer. The two bar hops will be at 9 p.m. at Tipsy Pig BGC and 10 p.m. in Reserve Gastro Tavern, also in BGC.
Be inspired to own your 20s and grab a copy of Cosmopolitan’s May issue at all newsstands, bookstores, and supermarkets nationwide for only P125.
